Tankless efficiency is a green issue

Heating hot water for a bath has become a green issue as we feel the burden of rising energy costs and question the use of polluting fuels. There is strong debate about drilling in wild life reserves and coal fired generators. It’s hard to see, with growing demand how we can have both clean and cheap.

Which will prevail? Some things seem pretty certain: More alternative energy sources will continue to come online as the price of fossil fuels continues to go up. At any rate, taking a hot bath will probably get more costly. This could be the thing that gets tankless water heaters going.

What does this mean for homeowners?
Those using an oil furnace/hot water heater combo are in the worse shape as their energy bills are already much higher than other water heating systems. For those using natural gas or electricity to heat their hot water it’s hard to see what the future has in store.

If we look back over the last decade we see that gas prices have gone up significantly while electric prices have declined slightly.

What the future will bring is hard to predict but one thing is certain, big changes are coming. We’ve already gone from 25 percent to 60 percent dependence foreign oil in just one generation. It’s time to realize a new era.
